Three recent signs of an increasingly desperate Republican Party

This week, the Republican House passed a law banning their 2012 campaign lie about Obama gutting welfare.

This week, the Republican House passed a law banning "Obama phones", their 2012 campaign lie about the Ronald Reagan program to help the poor get phones.

This week, the Republican House welcomed the latest edition of Paul Ryan's "serious" budget that was so soundly rejected in the 2012 campaign.

Bobby said they needed to stop being the stupid party. This just smells like desperation to me.

There doesn't appear to be a sane one left in the party.

How they think this will win them anything in 2014 or beyond escapes me.

Then all we'd have to do is sit back and wait for the next eruption.

The Democrats have taken a great many of the Republicans' positions away from them by constantly chasing/pushing them to the right, all the Republicans really have remaining is totally nuts.

They, i.e. one corporation controls America and the rest of world. Everything that sci-fi have predicted is trying to come full circle. But, if the dictatorship happens which the GOPpers want to input along with their warped religion, a world war may ensure because the greedy people will fight each other and of course we will be in the middle of the their fight. My opinion.
